Mollie McLaughlin was selected as Broomall Rotary Club’s EMS Member of the Year. She began her EMS career when she visited Marple Ambulance’s EMS Day back in May of 2010. She joined MTAC the next month. She obtained her EMT quickly thereafter and became a qualified EMT. Mollie was very active staffing the ambulance as a volunteer until moving out of the area in early 2017. In May of 2017, we needed a career EMT for a full time position and Mollie returned to us. She’s an asset to Marple Ambulance in her career position.

The 2017 CARES (Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival) data has been published. MTAC strives itself on improving our Cardiac Arrest survival to hospital discharge rates by implementing the best practices and care possible to our community we serve.

While you may think these numbers are low, MTAC has better survival rates than the rest of Delaware County, Pennsylvania and Nationally.

We are continuing to increase our survival rates by ensuring high quality CPR, public education on bystander CPR and hosting free CPR classes for our local residents and businesses.

In 2016, MTAC had a 5% overall survival rate. For 2017 we had a significant increase to a 12% survival rate.

MTAC leads survival rates compared with data for ALL agencies in Delaware County, Commonwealth of PA and nationally. The national survival rate is 10.4%

Other interesting data that we collect is bystander CPR. Thanks to our community involvement, Marple Township has a 56% bystander CPR rate vs 30.6% in Delaware County and 39.4% nationally.

We want to thank all of our members and staff who truly make a difference in people lives.

MTAC is holding our annual Medical Command review with our Paramedics. Dr. Joshua Baron who serves as our service medical director and Assistant Chief Ali Erbayri who oversees clinical operations were on hand to see the paramedics who work under his medical license perform actual medical interventions in a simulated environment. The review is held yearly with all ALS services in PA, and the medical director can cover different topics. It is also good to meet face to face with the Doctor and talk about and ask questions our medics have about certain calls, or treatment modalities we encounter on a daily basis. Thank you to MTAC Paramedic Brian Collins who works FT at Cooper University and was able to bring this medical simulator to MTAC. ... See MoreSee Less
